It may seem off topic, but I thought it might be nice for everyone to have a place to share pictures (of whatever). So as long as they're not copyrighted (more than technically, since everything that is produced is TECHNICALLY copyrighted), feel free to share your pictures of anything you'd like, here!

Here's Sicily (Sicilia).

These are Bergamo, Italy.

Beautiful pictures, Dulcamara. I'd love to go live in Italy.

I have some pictures of John Paul II from about five feet away that I took when I went to Rome in the spring of 1999. Unfortunately, they're not digital, so I'd have to go scan them. I didn't want to come home and had half a mind just to skip the return flight.

Thanks for the photos, Dulcamara!

Lad, my husband and I took photos of JP2 in Baltimore which have miraculous-looking rays from Heaven beaming upon his head.

I always did think that Italy was the most beautiful country in the world.

You are probably right, Alex.

You are probably right, Alex.

As I was scrolling down the pictures, I kept saying to myself, "I want to live there!"

I have to agree with everyone. It looks like a beautiful place to live. It's hard, living in an American city, to picture what it would be like to walk out your door in the morning and see something like that. Beauty touches the soul, and I believe, raises it up to thoughts and longing for it's Creator. It's hard to be touched by postage-stamp sized, naked lawns, and concrete, though.

There were some breathtaking pictures like these viewable through Google Earth (Earth, not maps), but I think I had to download some kind of add-on content for it on the Google Earth site... Some photo site apparently has photos taken by people of spots all over the world. Many are quite beautiful. If your computer is very good/can handle RAM-hogging programs, it's worth a look! Some of the mountain and hill views, or forest views across Italy were just stunning.

As for Italy... the food's not bad either... :ready-to-eat:
